I think the scenario goes like this:
Start vim.
Do something that causes vim to create a directory in /tmp.
Keep vim running for a long time but don't do any operations that
put files into the tmp directory.
System clean-up job runs, finds that the modification time on
vim's tmp directory hasn't changed in a while and deletes it.
Try to do something in vim that needs the tmp directory. Vim
already created on, but it's no longer there, so vim issues an
error message.
